I am going to say this should be reported as a bug to lightdm. I was the driving force getting lightdm into xubuntu, and worked with the developer for about a year making it happen. If it is is not recognizing the system without the external monitor, that should be reported.
Well, it only has an external monitor - it only 'thinks' it has a laptop display (it's not a laptop). I'm thinking since this chipset was used in a lot of netbooks, it has that hardcoded somewhere at the hardware level. I've checked the BIOS and see nowhere to turn off the 'laptop display'. In Xfce, if I go to Settings -> Display, it sees a display called 'Laptop' which I turn off.
I'll report it upstream and see what happens.
